Building a Killer Management Agreement

After reading dozens of management agreements as a consultant I’ve figured out that although managers do this business very differently, there are common stipulations that belong in every property management agreement regardless of your management model or state regulations. Managers constantly add language that shouldn’t be there, language that complicates their processes, prevents them from being scalable and exposes them to unwanted litigation. Managers often copy and paste from other’s agreements without realizing they’re handcuffing themselves to archaic language that only hinders them from being profitable and scalable as a management company. Agents often adopt their realtor association standardized agreement and don’t realize the limitations of the language in those agreements. Others just keep adding more and more stipulations in hopes of managing through their document instead of giving themselves the freedom they need to maximize profits and protect themselves. This is about building a killer management agreement and is generic enough to fit every state and model.

The 10 Biggest Mistakes

Because I've done property management for 35 years, acquired 14 other management companies, and leased to 9,000 tenant I've naturally made more mistakes than anyone else in the business. I have also watched other managers cave in, shut their doors and lose their licenses over mistakes they could have easily avoided. So, I've come up with the top 10 biggest mistakes property managers make. So come learn from my mistakes instead of learning from your own. It's a lot less painful.

Leasing and the Law

This workshop is for real estate agents who are considering (or are moving into) the hazardous world of leasing. Sales agents are often shocked when they realize how little their sales training prepared them for this new adventure and are just as shocked with how little their brokers can contribute to their efforts. Even though you are licensed and, according to Georgia law, can do leasing, this doesn’t mean that you should, without additional training. You and your broker can be exposed to serious risks while you are climbing the steep leasing learning curve. This workshop is a must if you, as an agent, are hoping to tap into this new revenue stream or if you are a Broker considering letting your agents do leasing. This is NOT a property management class. It’s about licensees doing leasing.

Georgia Institute of Real Estate is hosting 6 property management workshops with Robert. An AM and PM each day. Three Days. Six 3-hour Continuing Education workshops. August 21, 28, and September 5th.

An Overview of Property Management Processes

This course starts with an overview of the 10 processes of property management starting with marketing to owners, and ending with owner terminations; basically the entire process of listing, leasing and property managing (first hour). The next two hours we’re down-in-the-weeds. The second hour is spent just on signing up new owners. The last hour is dedicated to setting up the tenant properly starting with processing applications to scheduling and completing the move-in inspection.

Building a Property Management Infrastructure

Every management company needs an infrastructure but no one tells us what that looks like. The foundation, cornerstones, building blocks and operational issues become clear after you’re in the business 10 years but it’s helpful to know what it looks like from the start. This isn’t a ‘down in the weeds how to workshop’ but a big picture look at what the structure of property management looks like and what the building blocks of a management company are.
